We’ve Got Super-Powers!
Happy 15th Birthday, Super Bryson! So my precious Bryson, the youngest of my seven awesome grandkids, turns a big 15 today! What??? How can it be? 15 years has flown by and oh the joy he has given to his Nana! His birthday is the day after his Papa’s graduation to heaven. How befitting that…
And Many More…
Are you one of those who must have the last word? If so, then at the conclusion of singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, you probably added the big finish…. “And many more!!” I’ve come to find those words reassuring, so I always sing “and many more” under my breath in hopes that my quiet wish…
Getting Older Doesn’t Suck
Just living a while longer in the magnitude of the light that shines so brightly from my birthday candles! And, really, thank God, I’m not serious – no cake could support that many! But I am living in the light of God’s goodness and mercy to still be alive and well! I remember working closely…
And God Said…..
“Tada! Here’s Donna!” It’s the day when I made my big debut on planet earth. And since I’m still here, I must not be done! The fanfare started last night when the Wuerch clan showed up with the party. When asked where I wanted to go for my birthday, I told them “my place”! And…
This Girl is on Fire!
Lest I sound braggadocios in this blog today, I best use a scripture to explain: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:31) Please indulge me as I boast on God’s faithfulness, His goodness, and His mercy to me. After Elizabeth declared “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the…
A Tribute to the One Who Gave Me My One and Only
I’m sure you’ve heard funny and catty remarks said about mother-in-laws. There are those who often talk about them as forces to be reckoned with, but that’s not the case with mine. I’ll tell you about her — because today is her 98th birthday. We can never forget her birthday because it falls on this…
A Big Thumbs Up – All is Well!
That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this “thumbs-up hand”. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories’ sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All…
I Want to be the Apple that Didn’t Fall Far from Her Tree
Goodness gracious! I checked my blog archives and realized that it has been five years, 2015, since I gave credit to where credit is due for ME! Besides God, of course, it is to my dad and precious mother. Today is Mom’s birthday and the cast of characters for this 109th birthday celebration includes Father…
It’s My Birthday. I Can Cry Happy Tears if I Want To.
Sweet time with my Frisco family yesterday at a great restaurant and then to see the new “Overcomer” movie. I was totally on that bandwagon of celebrating me. This is my life — the only one that was meant for me. Alexia asked “Nana, how does it feel to be younger than the Great Depression?…
Want Something to Celebrate? Celebrate YOU!
I love the saying “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” When we were kids, we couldn’t count the months and days fast enough until another birthday rolled around. But, the older we get we’d just as soon let the next birthday roll around unnoticed – that is unless…
